6 Most Devastating Fails In Football History
Andrés Escobar – The Own Goal That Got Him Killed (1994)

Colombian defender Andrés Escobar scored an own goal against the United States during the 1994 World Cup, a mistake that helped eliminate his team from the tournament. Just ten days after returning home, he was murdered outside a bar in Medellín – shot six times by drug cartel members who had lost money betting on Colombia. One of the killers reportedly yelled “goal” with each shot. A football mistake has never had a more tragic ending.
